Guidelines for Locating Smoke Detectors
Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser
extent. Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quantities of smoke
precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should
be installed outside of each sleeping area and on each storey of the home.
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire
codes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke alarms.
It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum
protection be installed. Additional areas that should be protected include: the basement;
bedrooms, especially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and
any hallways not protected by the required units.
On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other
spacing may be required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of joists,
uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S553-M86
